My House – Interior Paint Refresh

August 21, 2017
  • Share

This weekend, I had the first party at my new place.  It was soooo much fun.  Best of friends AM and JE were in town with their kiddies; they were all staying with me at my new Beverly Hills casa.  I decided to throw a casual “Taco Night ” party for them and 40 of my family (sis DS, cousins etc) and dearest and best L.A. friends (BN, SN and more).  The party went off flawlessly, except for the fact that I was in the shower when guests arrived! The taco guy was a hit and so was the house!  It was so much fun finally having a place to call home and to invite everyone whom I love the most!

So, the scoop on the house….I moved into the house exactly three weeks ago.  Wanted to give you a tiny glimpse at the before and after.  I’ll do a big reveal later.  When I first saw this three bedroom, two bath Spanish style home in the canyons, it was desperately in need of a makeover and lots of brightening up.  I turned to premium paint company Benjamin Moore for my colors.

I knew I wanted to go with white for the walls and paint one area a greenish blue.  Who knew though that there were so many choices for white.  I went and bought at least 15 samples of Benjamin Moore paint and swatched walls in the living room and dining room.  As you can see, the walls surrounding the swatches were all a strange yellow…my painter said it was really old paint.  It was probably some sort of beige but over the years had turned yellow.

My plan was off with the yellow….and brighten with the white. I started with 12 different Benjamin Moore Whites (Patriotic White, Chantilly Lace, Decorator’s White, Snow White, Pure White

I ended up choosing the following colors.

  • Benjamin Moore Super White OC 152 (all over the house)
  • Benjamin Moore Newburg Green HC-158 (living room nook)
  • Benjamin Moore Jamestown Blue HC-148 (living room nook ceiling)

BEFORE – This little living room nook was dark and a little moody but had lots of potential!

DURING – This is what it looked like as the Newburg Green HC-158 was going up in the nook.

AFTER – AHHHHH! Yes!  The nook looks brighter even though I went with a dark blue/green paint.  And the white walls work!

My new Moroccan pendant contrasts well with the Jamestown Blue on the ceiling of the nook.

AFTER – Benjamin Moore Super White made all of the difference!

I will be sharing more of my house over the coming weeks and months and years of course!  Big thank you to Benjamin Moore coming in for the rescue with all of the paint!

Happy Monday!

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
